Mary Gets Ready to Share Her Secrets

The photos are in, the marketing agency has been engaged and the Mary Valley Country marketing committee is getting set to share “Mary” on a new improved website and branding identity.

Project manager Lesa Bell said she had received fantastic photos from residents wanting to share their family adventures while playing in the valley.

The winners of the Mary Valley photo competition are Brian Jones for “People” with the shot of his grandson Sam on the Valley Rattler, Cherie Carlson with her “Action” photo of a boy hanging on board a biscuit at Borumba Dam, and the “Landscape” winner is Todd Fauser for a wonderful picture of two creeks converging after heavy rain.

Deciding on winners was no easy task so Maureen McCarthy, Madeline Price and Susie Croft were also awarded Highly Commended for their great images. A collection of the photos will go on show at the Imbil Library. The winners will receive printing vouchers donated by Harvey Norman in Gympie.

dtb! advertising agency from Mooloolaba has been engaged to tackle the job of creating an effective marketing program to present Mary Valley Country with her natural beauty, and combinations of fun activities, to the rest of the world.

A 2010 report cited that “once natural outdoor recreation and activity enthusiasts discover the Mary Valley they come back often”.

With such large tourist traffic only 40 minutes from their door on the Sunshine Coast, the Mary Valley invites visitors to get into nature for a good old-fashioned family holiday.

This should also lead to improved economic stability for the area, Ms Bell said.
